Odd Problem with defines within variables

[SmartIPS2]

A seemingly simple problem puzzles me for an hour now

I want to get the result from a define which name is previously put together by the programmcode, here is an example

define("TEMPERATURE",25);
define("TEMPERATURE_MAX",45);

$max=1;
if ($max==1){
     $suffix="_MAX";
}
else{
     $suffix="";
}

echo TEMPERATURE.$suffix;

So actually i want to have 45 echo'ed , but it will display "25_MAX" .. how the heck i am able to put a variable together and resolve the define content i am looking for?

Thanks for your help.

Well since you're making max=1, you know that suffix will equal "_MAX". So why don't you just do

echo TEMPERATURE_MAX

?
